Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

If you've had your fill of beach loungers and bars, this is the most nature-focused destination on Pattaya's coast. It's a museum showcasing Thailand's islands and seas in several pavilions, dedicated to marine life and local flora and fauna. The marine section, in particular, attracts the most visitors, featuring exhibits on the wildlife of the Gulf of Thailand, just off the coast.

It's a quiet, orderly place, not garish. The exhibition areas are clearly separated, allowing you to wander around at your leisure without feeling rushed. There's a café for a short break between pavilions. Families with children, schoolchildren, and anyone interested in ecology and nature conservation will particularly enjoy it here. Those expecting interactive theme park shows will be disappointed, and I would skip it if your group lacks the patience to read information panels.
